SECTION I: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION, SPECIFICATION AND DIMENSIONAL DATA

The V8H Series boiler is a cast iron oil-fired water boiler designed for closed forced circulation heating systems or a low pressure steam boiler designed for use in closed heating steam systems. This boiler must be vented by natural draft into a fireclay tile-lined masonry chimney or chimney constructed from type L vent or a factory built chimney that complies with the type HT requirements of UL03. An adequate supply of air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases must be available in the boiler room. Water Boilers The V8H Series water boiler uses an Intelligent Oil

Boiler Control (boiler control). The boiler control replaces the traditional electronic aquastat and

circulator relays and adds energy saving thermal purge features. Energy is saved by starting the circulator and delaying the burner start when there is residual heat available in the boiler. A Warm Start Intelligent Oil Boiler Control (Warm Start Boiler Control) is included with a tankless heater option to generate domestic hot water.

Steam Boilers The V8H Series steam boiler uses a L404F Pressure

Limit and Low Water Cut-off. This boiler has indirect domestic water heater connections to generate domestic hot water. Optionally, this boiler may include a L4006 Temperature Limit and a tankless heater to generate domestic hot water.

Figure 2: Minimum Installation Clearances To Combustible Materials (Inches)

A. INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of damage.1. All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected

and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of crated boiler to the carrier in good condition.

2. Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the carrier by the consignee. No claims for variances from, or shortage in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt of goods.

B. LOCATE BOILER in front of final position before removing crate. See Figures 1A thru 1D.1. LOCATE so that vent pipe connection to chimney

will be short and direct. 2. BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION

ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be installed on carpeting.

3. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a solid elevated base, such as concrete, if floor is

not level, or if water may be encountered on floor around boiler.

4. PROVIDE SERVICE CLEARANCE of at least 24” clearance from front jacket panel for servicing and removal of front tankless heater (increase to 30" for #A54 heater). If boiler is equipped with a rear tankless heater, provide at least 24" service clearance on the right side of the boiler. Boiler flueways may be cleaned either from the top or from the right side. Provide at least 24" clearance from either the right side of the boiler or the top of the boiler for cleaning flueways.

5. For minimum clearances to combustible materials. See Figure 2.

NOTICEClearance to venting is for single wall vent pipe. If Type L vent is used, clearance may be reduced to the minimum required by the vent pipe manufacturer.

SECTION II: PRE-INSTALLATION

NOTES: 1. Listed clearances comply with American

National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, Installation of Oil Burning Equipment.

2. V8H Series boilers can be installed in rooms with clearances from combustible material as listed

above. Listed clearances cannot be reduced for alcove or closet installations.

3. For reduced clearances to combustible material, protection must be provided as described in the above ANSI/NFPA 31 standard.

C. PROVIDE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR. Local and National Codes may apply and should be referenced.

WARNINGAdequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided to assure proper combustion and to maintain safe ambient air temperatures.DO NOT install boiler where gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids, or sources of hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) are used or stored.

1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the space.

Volume(ft3) = Length(ft) x Width(ft) x Height(ft)2. Determine total input of all appliances in the space. Add inputs of all appliances in the space and round

the result to the nearest 1000 BTU per hour.3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by total

input of all appliances in space. If the result is greater than or equal to 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour, then it is considered an unconfined space. If the result is less than 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the space is considered a confined space.

4. For boiler located in an unconfined space of a conventionally constructed building, the fresh air infiltration through cracks around windows and doors normally provides adequate air for combustion and ventilation.

5. For boiler located in a confined space or an unconfined space in a building of unusually tight construction, provide outdoor air. a. Outdoor air for combustion may be provided

with an optional U.S. Boiler Company V8H™ Fresh Air Accessory Kit (ONLY AVAILABLE ON BECKETT BURNERS WITH PLASTIC COVER APPLICATION, P/N 102119-01). Refer to Fresh Air Accessory Kit Instructions for installation and air intake piping details. or

b. Outdoor air may be provided with the use of two permanent openings which communicate directly or by duct with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) freely communicating with the outdoors. Locate one opening within 12 inches of top of space. Locate remaining opening within 12 inches of bottom of space. Minimum dimension of air opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per following:i. Direct communication with outdoors.

Minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in space.

ii. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional area shall be same as opening free area.

iii. Horizontal ducts. Minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional area shall be same as opening free area.

Alternate method for boiler located within confined space. Use indoor air if two permanent openings communicate directly with additional space(s) of sufficient volume such that combined volume of all spaces meet criteria for unconfined space. Size each opening for minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU per hour input of all equipment in spaces, but not less than 100 square inches.

6. Louvers and Grilles of Ventilation Ductsa. All outside openings should be screened and

louvered. Screens used should not be smaller than 1/4 inch mesh. Louvers will prevent the entrance of rain and snow.

b. Free area requirements need to consider the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens protecting the openings. If the free area of the louver or grille is not known, assume wood louvers have 20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles have 60-75 percent free area.

c. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the open position, or interlocked with the equipment to open automatically during equipment operation.

CAUTIONDO NOT drop boiler. DO NOT bump boiler jacket against floor.

C. MOVE BOILER TO PERMANENT POSITION by sliding or walking.

D. PROCEDURE TO OPEN, CLOSE AND SECURE BURNER SWING DOOR with articulated hinge. Throughout this manual you will be instructed to open and close the burner swing door for various reasons. There is a proper and improper method to closing and securing the burner swing door after it has been removed and re-installed for Field Assembly (Knockdown Boiler) or opened for inspection, cleaning or field service.1. TO OPEN BURNER SWING DOOR (see Figures

13A and 13B).Step 1. Loosen and remove right side latching

hardware (5/16" flange nut and washer).Step 2. Loosen and remove left side hinge hardware

(5/16" x 3-1/2" lg. hex head flange bolt).Step 3. The duel pivot articulated hinge allows right

side of door to be pulled outward and rotated to the left all in one motion. To do so, place your right hand under burner air tube and lift up slightly to help carry the weight of the door and burner. Use your left hand to grasp the door's left side hinge flange, pull outward to rotate the hinge, this motion will move the door outward and to the left approximately 3" (see Figure 13B, Position 2).

SECTION III: KNOCKDOWN BOILER ASSEMBLY (continued)

If you are using a burner with the disconnect harness, complete the following assembly instructions for mounting the mating burner disconnect junction box, see Figure 11.1. Remove (2) #6 x 1/2" lg. machine screws and J-box

cover from junction box.2. Secure 2" x 4" junction box to jacket front panel

with (2) #8 x 3/8" lg. sheet metal screws using pre-punched holes below tridicator or pressure gauge tapping.

3. Complete the field wiring phase of Paragraphs N & O (Beckett), P (Carlin) or Q (Riello) Install end of harness from low water cut-off (LWCO), R8239A Control Center or Boiler Control into appropriate knockout of burner disconnect junction box

according to source, refer to Figures 1A thru 1D.4. Connect (3) wires from boiler control LWCO or

R8239A Control Center to spade terminals on rear of power outlet receptacle. Make the connections as shown in appropriate wiring diagram based on boiler configuration, refer to Figures 21A thru 25.

5. Secure J-box cover to junction box with (2) #6 x ½" lg. machine screws.

6. Insert mating end of burner disconnect harness (power cord) into power outlet receptacle on J-box.

Step 4. From this position the door can be swung clear of the vertical circulator return piping to provide full access to the combustion chamber and burner head (see Figure 13B, Position 3).

2. Perform routine inspection, service or cleaning as necessary.

3. To close Burner Swing Door (see Figures 13A and 13B):Step 1. From the fully open position, rotate Burner

Swing Door toward the closed position. Make sure that the articulated hinge is rotated to the extreme left position to allow the door to clear the vertical circulator return piping as shown in Figure 13B, Position 2.

Step 2. Grasp the door's left side hinge flange in your left hand and place your right hand under the burner air tube to lift upward. Lift the door up unto the built-in cast ramp/door rest (protruding from the bottom of the front section casting - see Figure 13A), while rotating the articulated hinge and door to the right and engaging the slot (on right side of door) unto the 5/16" stud protruding from the front section.

Step 3. Use one hand to help hold door in position by lifting up on rear burner housing or applying pressure directly to the door while re-installing the securing hardware with your opposite hand. Always install right side latching hardware (5/16" flange nut and flat washer) first, then install left side hinge hardware (5/16" x 3-1/2" lg. hex head flange bolt) second. Apply additional pressure while hand tightening the hardware as far as possible, then release the pressure.

Figure 13A: Partial Front View - Burner Swing Door Mounted to Boiler - Fully Closed and Secured

NOTICEWhen securing burner swing door make sure door is drawn-in equally on both sides.

Step 4. Use a hand wrench to tighten door hardware and always start with the right side flange nut first. Use an alternating tightening method from right side flange nut to left side flange bolt to tighten door equally until sealed without applying excessive torque. Never tighten left side flange bolt first or tighten either piece of hardware 100% without using the alternating tightening method described above.

Failure to follow the prescribed procedure could cause thread damage to casting or a leak in the door seal. If left side flange bolt is tightened before right side flange nut, right side of door can not be drawn-in to provide an air tight seal, as shown in Figure 13C. Applying excessive torque will only cause thread damage.

E. INSPECT COMBUSTION CHAMBER TARGET WALL AND LINER, AND SWING DOOR GASKET.1. Open burner swing door using procedure previously

outlined in Paragraph D of this section.2. Using a flashlight, inspect the rear target wall and

liner. The target wall should be rigidly secured to the rear boiler section. The combustion chamber liner should be evenly distributed in the boiler chamber. If either is damaged, they must be replaced.

A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING WATER SYSTEM. Design a piping system and install boiler which will

prevent oxygen contamination of boiler water and frequent water additions.1. There are many possible causes of oxygen

contamination such as:a. Addition of excessive make-up water as a result

of system leaks.b. Absorption through open tanks and fittings.c. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution

system. 2. In order to insure long product life, oxygen sources

must be eliminated. This can be accomplished by taking the following measures:a. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for

addition of make-up water.b. Eliminating open tanks from the system.c. Eliminating and/or repairing fittings which allow

oxygen absorption.d. Use of non-permeable materials in the

distribution system.e. Isolating the boiler from the system water by

installing a heat exchanger.

WARNINGSystem supply and return piping must be connected to correct boiler pipe.U.S. Boiler Company recommends sizing the system circulator to supply sufficient flow (GPM) to allow a 20°F temperature differen-tial in the system. When sizing the system circulator, the pressure drop of all radiators, baseboard and radiant tubing and all connect-ing piping must be considered.

CAUTIONMaintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible materials.

B. CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING TO BOILER. See Figures 15A and 15B. Also, consult Residential Hydronic Heating Installation and Design I=B=R Guide. 1. If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration

systems, the boiler must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler. See Figure 14. Also, consult Residential Hydronic Heating Installation and Design I=B=R Guide.

2. If this boiler is connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air, the boiler piping must be equipped with flow control valves to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water during the operation of the cooling system.

3. If boiler is used with an Indirect Domestic Water Heater, install the Indirect Water Heater as a separate heating zone. Refer to the Indirect Water Heater Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions for additional information.

4. Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be operated in a system which has a large volume or excessive radiation where low boiler water temperatures may be encountered (i.e. converted gravity circulation system, etc.) The bypass should be the same size as the supply and return lines with valves located in the bypass and return line as illustrated in Figures 15A and 15B in order to regulate water flow for maintenance of higher boiler water temperature.

WARNINGThe use of a low water cut-off device, while not required unless radiation level is below the boiler, is highly recommended.

5. If a Low Water Cut-Off (LWCO) is required, it must be mounted in the system piping above the boiler. The minimum safe water level of a hot water boiler is just above the highest water containing cavity of the boiler; that is, a hot water boiler must be full of water to operate safely. Refer to Appendix A at the rear of this manual.

SECTION V: WATER BOILER PIPING AND TRIM

NOTICEFailure to pipe boiler as specified in this manual may result in excessive system noise, water line fluctuations and water carry over.

Figure 14: Recommended Piping for Combination Heating and Cooling (Refrigeration) System

6. If it is required to perform a long term pressure test of the hydronic system, the boiler should first be isolated to avoid a pressure loss due to the escape of air trapped must first be removed from the boiler.

To perform a long term pressure test including the boiler, ALL trapped air must first be removed from the boiler.

A loss of pressure during such a test, with no visible water leakage, is an indication that the boiler contained trapped air.

SECTION VI: STEAM BOILER PIPING AND TRIM

A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING STEAM SYSTEM. The single most important factor in determining the

expected life cycle of a steam boiler, is the amount of fresh water added to the boiler during operation. Fresh water brings minerals and oxygen into the boiler. These contaminants greatly accelerate corrosion of the cast iron boiler sections.1. Assure that all system radiators, piping and vents are

absolutely leak tight.a. When a steam boiler is installed in an existing

system, ALL air vents should be replaced at the same time. This assures that the new boiler will not be compromised by existing system leaks.

b. If the system contains hidden supply or return piping (hidden behind walls, buried in concrete, etc.) pressure test this piping to assure there are no leaks.

2. Repair any leaks in the system.3. Install accurate water meter on the fresh water

supply to the boiler.B. CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN

PIPING TO BOILER. See Figure 16 for piping details. Also consult Residential Hydronic Heating Installation and Design I=B=R Guide.

CAUTIONMaintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible materials.

WARNINGFailure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or structure.

DO NOT increase steam boiler input above the ratings.

DO NOT use softened water in steam boilers. Accelerated boiler corrosion will result. Tie in fresh water supply to the boiler upstream of a water softener.Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. U.S. Boiler Company's Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent addition of water.

NOTICEBefore using copper for steam piping, consider the following characteristics of copper piping: 1) high coefficient of thermal expansion can induce mechanical stresses and cause expansion/ contraction noises if not accounted for in the piping system design and installation, 2) high heat transfer rate (heat loss) of uninsulated copper piping must be included in the normal piping and pickup factors used to size the boiler, 3) soldering or brazing pastes and fluxes that end up in the system can cause poor heat transfer, surging, an unsteady water line and wet steam if not thoroughly removed during the boil out procedure and, 4) galvanic corrosion of the adjoining metal may occur due to dissimilar metals in certain water chemistries if dielectric unions are not used.

SECTION VII: TANKLESS AND INDIRECT WATER HEATER PIPING

A. CONNECT TANKLESS HEATER PIPING as shown in Figure 17A. See Tables 2A and 2B for Tankless Heater Rating.

WARNINGInstall automatic mixing valve at tankless heater outlet to avoid risk of burns or scalding due to excessively hot water at fixtures. Adjust and maintain the mixing valve in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT operate tankless heater without mixing valve.

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHEN PIPING THE TANKLESS HEATER:

1. FLOW REGULATION — If flow through the heater is greater than its rating, the supply of adequate hot water may not be able to keep up with the demand. For this reason a flow regulator matching the heater rating should be installed in the cold water line to the heater. The flow regulator should preferably be located below the inlet to the heater and a minimum of 3’ away from the inlet so that the regulator is not subjected to excess temperatures that may occur during “off” periods when it is possible for heat to be conducted back through the supply line. The flow regulator also limits the flow of supply water regardless of inlet pressure variations in the range of 20 to 125 psi.

2. TEMPERING OF HOT WATER — Installation of an automatic mixing valve will lengthen the delivery of the available hot water by mixing some cold water with the hot. This prevents the possibility of scalding hot water at the fixtures. In addition, savings of hot water will be achieved since the user will not waste as much hot water while seeking a water temperature. Higher temperature hot water

required by dishwashers and automatic washers is possible by piping the hot water from the heater prior to entering the mixing valve. The mixing valve should be “trapped” by installing it below the cold water inlet to heater to prevent lime formation in the valve. Refer to Figure 17A.

3. FLUSHING OF HEATER — All water contains some sediment which settles on the inside of the coil. Consequently, the heater should be periodically back washed. This is accomplished by installing hose bibs as illustrated and allowing water at city pressure to run into hose bib A, through the heater, and out hose bib B until the discharge is clear. The tees in which the hose bibs are located should be the same size as heater connections to minimize pressure drop.

4. HARD WATER — A water analysis is necessary to determine the hardness of your potable water. This is applicable to some city water and particularly to well water. An appropriate water softener should be installed based on the analysis and dealer’s recommendation. This is not only beneficial to the tankless heater but to piping and fixtures plus the many other benefits derived from soft water.

NOTICEDuring summertime operation, the normal water line on a steam boiler can be raised 1", from 22-5/8" to 23-5/8" (see Figure 1D) for improved tankless heater performance on steam boilers.Use street elbow fittings in tankless in and out connections to assure adequate clearance of piping.

CAUTIONUse of hard water with a tankless coil will, over a short period of time, reduce the output of the coil, reduce flow due to increased pressure drop and reduce the useful life of the coil.

A. GENERAL VENTING GUIDELINES 1. Vent system installation must be in accordance

with these instructions and applicable provisions of local building codes. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection in your area.

2. The V8H is designed to be vented into a fireclay tile-lined masonry chimney or chimney constructed from type L vent or a factory built chimney that complies with the type HT requirements of UL103. The chimney and vent pipe shall have a sufficient draft at all times, to assure safe proper operation of the boiler. See Figure 18 for recommended installation.a. Install a draft regulator (supplied with boiler)

following the instructions furnished with the regulator. See Figure 19 for alternate draft regulator locations.

b. For Models V8H4W and V8H6W, the minimum recommended round chimney size from Table 1B is one size larger than the smokebox outlet. For a vertical vent, place the increaser on the smokebox outlet collar. Otherwise, locate the increaser in the horizontal vent at the entrance to the chimney.

c. With any new or replacement installation the chimney has to be considered. Chimneys that have a high heat loss may become less suitable as the heat loss of the home goes down and the efficiency of the boiler installed goes up. Most homes have a chimney appropriate for the fuel and the era in which the home was built. That may have been a coal fired or an inefficient oil fired boiler built into a home without insulation or storm windows. With increasing fuel prices that home probably has been insulated and fitted with storm windows so that the heat loss of the home has been reduced. This requires less fuel to be burned and sends less heat up the chimney.

A new boiler probably has a higher efficiency than the boiler being replaced. That probably means that the stack temperature from the new boiler will be lower than that from the old boiler and with less room air being drawn up the chimney to dilute the stack gases. The combination of a large uninsulated chimney, reduced firing rate, reduced firing time, lower stack temperature and less dilution air can, in some cases, contribute to the condensing of small amounts of water vapor in the chimney. Such condensation, when it occurs, can cause chimney deterioration. In extreme cases, the chimney may have to be lined to insulate the chimney and thus prevent the condensation. The addition of dilution air into the chimney may assist in drying

the chimney interior surfaces. A massive chimney on a cold, or exposed outside

wall may have produced adequate draft when it was fired with a higher input and greater volumes of heated gases. With reduced input and volume, the draft may be severely affected. In one instance our research showed a new chimney of adequate sizing produced only .035" W.C. after 30 minutes of continuous firing at 13.0% CO2. Outside wall chimneys take longer to heat up and can have .00" W.C. draft at burner start-up. You may have to consider a special alloy chimney flue liner with insulation around it and a stabilizing draft cap or even a draft inducing fan in severe cases.

d. For the same reasons as in c. above, heat extractors mounted into the breeching are not recommended.

3. For minimum clearances to combustible materials refer to Figure 2.

B. OPTIONAL AIR INTAKE PIPING INSTALLATION - Outdoor air for combustion may be provided with an optional U.S. Boiler Company V8H™ Fresh Air Accessory Kit (ONLY AVAILABLE ON BECKETT BURNERS, with plastic cover application, P/N 102119-01), refer to Figure 20. Refer to Fresh Air Accessory Kit Instructions for installation and air intake piping details.

WARNINGDO NOT reduce size of air intake pipe.

Read, understand and follow combustion air instruction restrictions contained in the Pre-Installation Section of this manual.

1. Generala. Use 4 inch diameter, single wall galvanized

metal pipe and fittings available at most heating distributors for air intake piping. Maximum allowable air intake length is 50 equivalent feet. Each elbow is equal to 6 equivalent feet.

WARNINGDO NOT exceed maximum allowable air intake length.

b. Start at Burner. Work toward air intake terminal.c. Maintain minimum of ¼ inch per foot slope in

2. After determining location, cut a hole in the wall to accept 4 inch air intake pipe. See Figure 20.

3. Remove the metal knockout in right side of burner cover. Install U.S. Boiler Company Inlet Air Accessory Kit, P/N 611280031.

4. Mount the Vacuum Relief Valve Tee Assembly (P/N 8116268 included with Kit) or 90° elbow into the burner inlet ring. See Figure 20.a. Secure with at least three (3) sheet metal screws

evenly spaced around the burner inlet ring.b. Assembly the vacuum relief valve balance

weight onto the gate. Refer to the vacuum relief valve manufacturer's instructions.

c. Mount the vacuum relief valve into the tee and fasten with a screw and nut in collar tabs. To ensure proper operation, the gate must be level across the pivot point and plumb. Refer to vacuum relief valve manufacturer's instructions.

5. Install remainder of air intake, securing each joint with at least three (3) sheet metal screws evenly spaced.

6. Install air intake terminal. See Figure 20.

NOTICEIntake terminal must be at least 12 inches above grade plus snow accumulation.

7. Seal all external joints with weatherproof caulk.

WARNINGDO NOT locate air intake where petroleum distillates, CFC's, detergents, volatile vapors or any other chemicals are present. Severe boiler corrosion and failure will result.

SECTION IX: ELECTRICAL

A. GENERAL1. Install wiring and electrically ground boiler in

accordance with requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, or in absence of such requirements the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and/or the CSA C22.1 Electric Code.

2. Refer to National Electric Code or Local Electric Codes for proper size and type of wire required. Follow Code.

3. A separate electrical circuit must be run from the main electrical service with an over-current device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is recommended and may be required by some local jurisdictions.

4. Use anti-short bushings on all wiring passing through boiler jacket, junction boxes and/or control boxes.

5. Use armored cable (BX) over all exposed line voltage wiring.

6. If an indirect domestic water heater is used, use priority zoning. DO NOT use priority zoning for Hydro-Air Systems.

7. If boiler is installed in Canada, a blocked vent safety switch must be installed. Refer to Blocked Vent Safety Switch Instruction Supplement provided with boiler (Canada only).

8. Wiring should conform to Figures 21A through 25.

B. INSTALL A ROOM THERMOSTAT on an inside wall about four feet above floor. Never install thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be influenced by drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting fixtures, television, rays of the sun or near a fireplace. Keep large furniture away from thermostat so there will be free movement of room air around this control.

Heat Anticipator in Thermostat should be set to match the requirements of the control to which it is connected. See Figures 21A thru 25 for desired system and heat anticipator setting. If system tends to overheat above the thermostat's temperature setting, reduce heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps. If system tends to short cycle without reaching desired room temperature, increase heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps.

49Figure 26: Single Pipe Oil Line

SECTION X: OIL PIPING

A. GENERAL

1. Use flexible oil line(s) so the burner swing door can be opened without disconnecting the oil supply piping.

2. A supply line fuel oil filter is recommended as a minimum for all firing rates but a pleated paper fuel oil filter is recommended for the firing rates below 1.0 GPH to prevent nozzle fouling.

3. Use Flared fittings only. Cast iron fittings cannot be used.

NOTICEDO NOT use compression fittings.

Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. Bleed line and fuel unit completely.Refer to your local jurisdictions regarding any special considerations for fuel supply requirements. In addition, refer to NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment for Installations in the United States and CSA B139-04 for Installation in Canada.

4. Use of a high efficiency micron filter (Garber or equivalent) in addition to a conventional filter is highly recommended.

5. Piping used to connect the oil burner to the oil supply tank shall not be smaller than 3/8" iron pipe or 3/8" OD copper tubing. Copper tubing shall have a .032" minimum wall thickness.

WARNINGUnder no circumstances can copper with sweat style connectors be used.

NOTICESome jurisdictions require the use of a fusible shutoff valve at the tank and/or the burner. In addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a fusible electrical interlock with the burner circuit. Check your local Codes for special requirements.

B. SINGLE PIPE OIL LINES

1. Standard burners are provided with single-stage 3450 RPM fuel units with the bypass plug removed for single-pipe installations.

2. The single-stage fuel unit may be installed single-pipe with gravity feed or lift. Maximum allowable lift is 8 feet. See Figure 26.

3. Fuel Oil Line Deaerator – On many occasions a leaky oil delivery line can introduce air into the fuel oil supply system. This often creates a rough starting condition and can create a burner lockout state. In addition to fixing the leak, a fuel line deaerator can be installed to eliminate air. The single line from the fuel tank is connected to the deaerator. The burner pump must be connected to the deaerator as a two pipe system. Follow the oil pump manufacturer’s recommendations for conversion to a two pipe system.

8. Steps outlined in Paragraph 5 and 6 above must be repeated every time the Head/Turbulator or Air Band/ Damper Setting is readjusted.

9. Turn “OFF” burner and remove Riello Combination Pressure Gauge and Bleeder Valve Assembly. Install pressure port/bleeder plug and tighten. Start burner again.

WARNINGDO NOT loosen or remove any oil line fittings while burner is operating.

10. FLAME FAILURE The V8H boiler controls operate the burner

automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner ceases to fire and the reset button on the primary control has tripped, the burner has experienced ignition failure. Refer to Oil Primary Control

features, Paragraph I, Step 2 of this Section and Section XV, Troubleshooting, Paragraph B. If the failure re-occurs, call your heating contractor immediately before pressing the reset button.

WARNINGDO NOT attempt to start the burner when excess oil has accumulated, when the boiler is full of vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.

H. CHECK FOR CLEAN CUT OFF OF BURNER.1. AIR IN THE OIL LINE between fuel unit and

nozzle will compress when burner is on and will expand when burner stops, causing oil to squirt from nozzle at low pressure as burner slows down and causing nozzle to drip after burner stops. Usually cycling the burner operation about 5 to 10 times will rid oil line of this air.

2. IF NOZZLE CONTINUES TO DRIP, repeat Paragraph H, No. 1 above. If this does not stop the dripping, remove cut-off valve and seat, and wipe both with a clean cloth until clean, then replace and readjust oil pressure. If dripping or after burn persist replace fuel pump.

I. TEST CONTROLS.1. Check thermostat operation. Raise and lower

thermostat setting as required to start and stop burner.

WARNINGBefore installation of the boiler is considered complete, the operation of all boiler controls must be checked, particularly the primary control and high limit control.

2. VERIFY OIL PRIMARY CONTROL FEATURES using procedures outlined in Instructions furnished with control or instructions as follows:a. GeniSys 7505 Control Features, see Figure

30A.i. The GeniSys 7505 is a microprocessor-

based control. The indicator light provides diagnostic information for lockout, recycling and cad cell status. There is a manual reset button to exit the Lockout Mode.

ii. Pump Priming Cycle: To facilitate purging air from the oil lines and filters, the 7505 can be placed in a purge routine by:• After the burner starts, press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds until the

• Release the reset button. The yellow light will turn off and the burner will start up again. • At burner start up, click the reset button while the igniter is till on. This will transition the control to a dedicated Pump Prime mode, during which the motor, igniter, and valve are powered for four (4) minutes. The yellow light will be

on. • At the end of four (4) minutes, the yellow

light will turn off and the control will automatically return to standby mode.

iii. Limited Recycle: This feature limits the number of recycle trials (for each call for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If the flame is lost three times and does not successfully satisfy a call for heat, the 7505 locks out.

iv. Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order to limit the accumulation of unburned oil in the combustion area, the control can only be

reset three times. The reset count returns to zero each time a call for heat is successfully completed. To reset a Restricted Mode lockout, hold button down for 15 seconds until the red light turns off and the yellow light turns on.

v. "T-T" Jumper: Select models have pre-installed "T-T" jumper.

Note: DO NOT remove "T-T" jumper unless wiring diagram indicates a direct connection from thermostat and/or tankless heater aquastat control to the oil burner primary control's "T-T" terminals. Refer to appropriate wiring diagram, see Figure 21A, 21B, 22, 23A, 23B, 24A or 24B.

vi. Diagnostic LED: The indicator light on oil primary control provides lockout, recycle and cad cell indications as follows:

• Flashing at 1 Hz (½ second on, ½ second off): system is locked out or in Restricted Mode.

• Flashing at ¼ Hz (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off): control is in Recycle Mode.

• On: cad cell is sensing flame. • Off: cad cell is not sensing flame.

vii. Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper operation it is important that the cad cell resistance is below 1600 ohms. During a normal call for heat, the cad cell leads can be unplugged from the control and the resistance measured with a meter in the conventional way.

Conduct these tests with flame present, see chart below.

Flame Detection RangeNormal (0 - 1600 ohms)Limited (1600 ohms to lockout)

b. Honeywell R7284 Control Features, see Figure 30B.i. The Oil Primary is a microprocessor-based

control. The display provides diagnostic information for lockout, recycling and cad cell status.

ii. Pump Priming Cycle: To facilitate purging air from the oil lines and filters, the R7284 can be placed in a purge routine by pressing and releasing the up arrow button during the Trial For Ignition. “Pump Prime” is shown on the oil primary display along with the time left on the Trail for Ignition (TFI). Pressing the up arrow button adds a minute to the TFI time for a maximum of

Running Mode.

b. CHECK OIL PRIMARY CONTROL

CAUTIONDue to the potential hazard of line voltage, only a trained, experienced service technician should perform the following safety checks.This control contains no field-serviceable parts. DO NOT attempt to take it apart. Replace entire control if operation is not as described.

i. Preliminary Steps • Check wiring connections and power

supply. • Make sure power is on to the controls. • Make sure limit control is closed. • Check contacts between ignitor and the

electrodes. • Check the oil pump pressure. • Check the piping to the oil tank. • Check the oil nozzle, oil supply and oil

filter.ii. Check Safety Features Safe Start: • Place a jumper across cad cell terminals. • Follow procedure to turn on burner.

Burner must not start, indicator light turns on and control remains in Idle Mode.

• Remove jumper.iii. Simulate Ignition or Flame Failure: • Follow procedure to turn on burner. • Check cad cell resistance. If resistance

is below 1600 OHMS and burner runs beyond safety cut-out time, cad cell is good.• If safety switch shuts down burner and

resistance is above 1600 OHMS, open line switch to boiler. Access cad cell under ignitor, clean face of cad cell and see that cell is securely in socket, see Figure 31. Check gasket around perimeter of ignitor lid for proper seal. If gasket is missing or damaged, replace gasket. Room light can effect cad cell resistance. Reset safety switch.

iii. Limited Recycle: This feature limits the number of recycle trials (for each call for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If the flame is lost three times and does not successfully satisfy a call for heat, the Oil Primary locks out.

iv. Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order to limit the accumulation of unburned oil in the combustion area, the control can only be reset three times. The reset count returns to zero each time a call for heat is successfully completed.

v. "T-T" Jumper: All R7284 models have internal "TT" Configured ON" parameters set to "ON".

Note: DO NOT change "T-T" Configured ON" parameters to "OFF" unless wiring diagram indicates a direct connection from thermostat and/or tankless heater aquastat control to the oil burner primary control's "T-T" terminals. Refer to appropriate wiring diagram, see Figure 21A, 21B, 22, 23A, 23B, 24A or 24B.

vi. Diagnostic Display: The R7284 has an LCD display and simply displays lockout and flame status on it.

vii. Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper operation it is important that the cad cell resistance is below 1600 ohms.

Cad Cell Resistance (ohms) is measured by the oil primary. The thresholds are:

< 1600 Ohms Normal operation > 1600 Ohms Service burner soon

approximately 60 seconds. • After third Recycle Mode trial, safety

switch locks out within safety switch timing indicated on label and control enters Restricted Mode. Ignition and

motor stop and oil valves closes.iv. Power Failure Check: After Flame is

established, turn the power off to the control/burner. The burner should shut down safely. When power is restored a normal ignition sequence should be started.

WARNINGCad Cell Jumper must be removed after this check.

SECTION XI: SYSTEM START-UP (continued)

3. CHECK HIGH LIMITa. Adjust system thermostat(s) to highest setting.b. Allow burner to run until boiler water

temperature exceeds high limit setting. The burner should shut down and circulators continue running.

c. Allow the temperature to drop below control setting. The burner must restart.

d. Boiler installation is not considered complete until this check has been made.

e. Check low water cut-off control with water level at normal water line (see Figure 1D). Raise thermostat setting to allow burner to operate. Open boiler drain to allow water level to drop to bottom of sight glass until burner operation is shut-down by low water cut-off.

Close boiler drain and refill to normal water line. Burner should automatically restart during fill. Lower thermostat setting.

f. Check operating control on boiler applications equipped with tankless heater(s). With burner off, draw hot water until burner starts, then turn off hot water and check burner shut-down.

J. IF CONTROLS MEET REQUIREMENT outlined in Paragraph I.1. Allow boiler to operate for approximately 30

minute, confirm the boiler and system have no leaks.K. IF CONTROLS DO NOT MEET

REQUIREMENTS outlined in Paragraphs I-1 thru I-6, replace control and repeat checkout procedures.

SECTION XII: OPERATING

A. WATER BOILERS SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1. Water Boilers Without Tankless Heaters (Cold Start), Sequence Of Operation:

a. The V8H Boiler is equipped with a Cold Start Intelligent Oil Boiler Control (Cold Start Boiler Control). The Cold Start Boiler Control replaces the traditional electronic aquastat and circulator relays and adds energy saving thermal purge features. Energy is saved by starting the circulator and delaying the burner start when there is residual heat available in the boiler.

b. The boiler’s sequence of operation is shown as Status Codes on Cold Start Boiler Control display. See Table 5 and Figure 32.

c. When the thermostat calls for heat the boiler control starts the system circulator and the thermal purge (circulator pre-purge time) begins. If the time is completed or boiler temperature is less than the Start Temperature (140 F default) the start sequence continues by energizing the oil primary to operate the following sequence: blower is started and operates for pre-purge time; spark is energized and fuel valve is opened for ignition trial time; burner fires until the thermostat is satisfied.

d. If the thermostat is not satisfied and the Operating Setpoint (SP) is reached the system circulator will continue to operate and the burner will stop. When the boiler water temperature drops below the setpoint less the differential setting the burner will restart.

e. After the thermostat is satisfied the burner and circulator are stopped.

f. When an indirect water heater aquastat call for heat is wired to the “ZR” terminal the Boiler Control starts a domestic hot water circulator connected to the “ZC” terminal and when the boiler temperature is less than Operating Setpoint (SP), the Cold Start Boiler Control energizes the oil primary to turn on the burner without circulator pre-purge delay.

g. On burner start, if the CAD cell does not see flame within approximately 15 seconds, primary control will shut down the burner and enter into a lockout mode. A lockout is reset by pressing the reset button located on the primary control. If the flame is lost while the burner is firing, the primary control shuts down the burner, enters a 60 second recycle delay, and repeats the ignition sequence. If after three (3) trials for ignition, flame is not detected, primary control will enter into restricted mode. Restricted mode is reset by holding down the reset button for 15 seconds.

2. Water Boilers with Tankless Heaters (Warm Start), Sequence Of Operation:a. The V8H Boiler is equipped with a Warm Start

Intelligent Oil Boiler Control (Warm Start Boiler Control). The Warm Start Boiler Control replaces the traditional high and low limit aquastat and circulator relays.

b. The boiler’s sequence of operation is shown as Status Codes on Warm Start Boiler Control display. See Table 5 and Figure 32.

c. When the thermostat calls for heat the Warm Start Boiler Control starts the system circulator and the start sequence continues by energizing the oil primary to operate the following sequence: blower is started and operates for pre-purge time; spark is energized and fuel valve is opened for ignition trial time; burner fires until the thermostat is satisfied. Optionally, the thermal purge (circulator pre-purge time) maybe added adjusting the Circulator Pre-purge time parameter. This feature saves energy by starting the circulator and delaying the burner start when there is residual heat available in the boiler .

SECTION XII: OPERATING (CONTINUED)

d. If the thermostat is not satisfied and the Operating Setpoint (SP) is reached the system circulator will continue to operate and the burner will stop. When the boiler water temperature drops below the setpoint less the differential setting the burner will restart.

e. After the thermostat is satisfied the burner and circulator are stopped.

f. The Warm Start Boiler Control also includes a low limit control function. When the boiler water temperature falls below the Low Limit Setpoint less the Low Limit Differential the “ZC” terminal and System Circulator outputs are de-energized and the oil primary is energized to start the burner. As temperature rises above the Low Limit Setpoint the burner is stopped, the “ZC” output is energized and the System Circulator is enabled to run in response to a call for heat.

g. On burner start, if the CAD cell does not see flame within approximately 15 seconds, primary control will shut down the burner and enter into a lockout mode. A lockout is reset by pressing the reset button located on the primary control. If the flame is lost while the burner is firing, the primary control shuts down the burner, enters a 60 second recycle delay, and repeats the ignition sequence. If after three (3) trials for ignition, flame is not detected, primary control will enter into restricted mode. Restricted mode is reset by holding down the reset button for 15 seconds.

3. Using Cold or Warm Start Boiler Control (Boiler Control) Features

The Boiler Control is located on front of boiler. The Boiler Control display, along with Up ñ,

Down ò, and “I” keys may be used to view boiler operating status (Figure 33).

4. Viewing the Operating Mode Options In operating mode the user may view (but not

change) boiler operating status, settings and troubleshooting information. To view Boiler Control display information:

Press and release the “I” key on the Boiler Control to change from one parameter to the next. Each setting will alternately flash between the relevant display code and its corresponding value.

For example, when the “I” key is pressed on the Boiler Control until “bt” is displayed, it will then flash a three digit number (such as “0”) followed by either “F” (or “C”). This indicates that the boiler water temperature is 180°F. Other operating parameters display the information in a similar fashion.

Please note that in operating mode to hold the display on the value the user can press and hold either the Up ñ or Down ò keys and the value will be continuously shown. This may be helpful in watching a value “live”.

5. Changing the Adjustable Parameters To adjust parameters such as the High Limit

Setpoint and High Limit Differential:a. Using the Boiler Control display, access the

adjustment mode by pressing and holding the Up ñ, Down ò, and “I” keys simultaneously for three (3) seconds. This procedure is intended to discourage unauthorized changes or accidental changes to limit settings.

b. Press the "I" key to display available Adjustment Mode options. Select an option.

SECTION XII: OPERATING (CONTINUED)

c. Low Limit (LL_) The Warm Start Boiler Control is factory

programmed with a Low Limit Setpoint of 110°F. On falling temperature the boiler turns “on” and the “ZC” terminal and System Circulator outputs are de-energized when the boiler temperature is less than the Low Limit Setpoint less the differential. On a rising temperature when the boiler temperature is above the Low Limit Setpoint the boiler turns “off”, the “ZC” terminal output is energized and the System circulator is enabled to respond to a call for heat. The Low Limit Setpoint is adjustable between 110°F and 220°F.

d. Low Limit Differential (Ldf) The Warm Start Boiler Control is factory

programmed with a Low Limit Differential Setpoint of 10°F. The Low Limit Differential is the number of degrees the boiler temperature must decrease below the Low Limit Setpoint before the Warm Start Boiler Control takes actions to warm the boiler. These actions include starting the burner and stopping water flow through the boiler. The Low Limit Differential is adjustable between 10°F and 25°F.

e. Circulator Overrun Time (OR_) Circulator Overrun Time (also called “circulator

off delay” or “circulator post purge”) continues circulator operation after a call for heat has ended, sending excess heat from the boiler into the priority zone. Ensure system piping and zone panel settings allow water flow to the priority zone after the call for heat ends. The Circulator Overrun Time has a factor setting of 0 minutes and is field adjustable between 0 and 10 minutes.

f. Circulator Pre-Purge Time (PP_) When the boiler is warm [boiler water

temperature higher than 140°F (adjustable using Start Temperature parameter)] and there is a thermostat call for heat, the system circulator is started and boiler firing is delayed pre-purge minutes. If the temperature drops below 140°F or there is a DHW Call for Heat the boiler is started without delay. Additionally, the boiler is started without delay if the thermostat call for heat is initiated when the boiler water temperature is less than 140°F. This feature helps save energy by satisfying home heating needs with residual boiler heat rather than cycling the boiler. The Circulator Pre-purge time has a factory setting of 2 minutes and is field adjustable between 2 and 20 minutes. Refer to Table 6.

The Warm Start Boiler Control Pre-purge Time is factor set to 0 minutes.

d. To return to the normal operating mode from the Adjustment Mode, when the "bc” option is displayed, press either the Up ñ or Down ò key. If no keys are pressed, after five (5) minutes the Boiler Control will automatically return to the Operating Mode.

6. More Information about Adjustable Parameters a. High Limit (HL_) The Boiler Control is factory programmed with

a High Limit Setpoint of 180°F. The boiler turns "off" when the boiler water temperature (bt) is above this value. The High Limit setpoint is adjustable between 140° and 240°F. The Operating Setpoint (P) will equal the High Limit Setpoint.

b. High Limit Differential (HdF)i. The Cold Start Boiler Control is factory

programmed with a Differential of 15°F. The Differential is the number of degrees the boiler temperature must decrease below the Operating Setpoint before the boiler can restart. The differential is adjustable between 10° and 30°F.

ii. On Warm Start Boiler Control the High Limit Differential is not adjustable and is fixed at 10°F.

SECTION XII: OPERATING (CONTINUED)

g. Start Temperature (t_) The amount of “Heat available” is calculated by

taking the difference between measured boiler water temperature and the Start Temperature setting. Useful “Heat Available” is dependent on the type of heating emitter installed in the home. Heat emitters require a certain minimum temperature to operate effectively. Our default settings reflect cast iron radiators. Fan Coils may require a start temperature setting of 180°F or 160°F before providing heat to the home. The Start Temperature has a factory setting of 140°F and is field adjustable between 140°F and 180°F.

h. Priority Time (Pt_) When the Priority Time parameter is set to “on”

and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) call for heat is “on” the DHW demand will take “Priority” over home heating demand and the system circulator will be forced “off”. Priority Time ends and the system circulator is released to service home heating demand when Domestic Hot Water call for heat is over. When Priority Time parameter is set to “Off” the DHW call for heat does not force “off” the system circulator. The Priority Time has a factory setting of “On” and is field adjustable between “On” and “Off” Refer to Table 7.

i. "ZC" and "ZR" Terminal Function (ZC_) The boiler control allows configuration of the

"ZC" output functionality to help the V8H integrate into each installation more effectively. The "ZC" output can be connected to a domestic hot water circulator or a second heating zone circulator or be used to enable pumps in a warm start application. These applications are selected as follows:i. When ZC_ is set equal to Domestic Hot

Water Demand (dh) When there is an Indirect Water Heater

(IWH) the boiler control provides a “ZR” input terminal for the IWH Aquastat and “ZC” output terminal for the DHW Circulator. When there is a DHW call for heat, the System Circulator is “forced off”, the DHW Circulator terminal is energized and the circulator pre-purge time delay control logic is bypassed to allow the boiler to fire without delay. When DHW demand ends the System Circulator “force off” is removed, the circulator can respond normally, and the DHW Circulator is de-energized. The DHW call for heat is detected by a voltage on to the "ZR" terminal. When a Priority Time parameter is set to “off” the System Circulator is not forced off for a DHW call for heat. Refer to Table 7.

SECTION XII: OPERATING (CONTINUED)

ii. When ZC_ is set equal to Zone Request (ZR) When there is no IWH the Cold Start Boiler

Control “ZC” output may be configured to control a second heating zone. This is particularly helpful when the home uses only two heating zones. The Cold Start Boiler Control replaces the need for a two circulator zone panel. When DHW Terminal Function (dh_) is set to ZR the boiler control’s two circulator outputs are used to control two independent heating zones. Refer to Table 8. A "TT" input causes a call for heat and energizes the System Circulator output to service heating zone 1. A second zone’s thermostat may be wired to the "ZR" input to energize heating zone 2 circulator wired to the "ZC" output. Both outputs function independently, "TT" input controls only the System Circulator output and the "ZR" input controls only the "ZC" output. Both inputs cause a boiler call for heat.

The Warm Start Boiler Control with ZC_ set equal to Zone Request (ZR) energizes the "ZC" terminal while the boiler is warm as described earlier in this section (refer to Paragraph A, Step 2, Item f). The "ZR" input is a call for heat that starts the boiler.

iii. External Low Limit, Parameter ZC = ELL The Cold Start Boiler Control is capable of

functioning as a warm start control when external limit control is installed that closes a contact when boiler water temperature falls below a setpoint. When an external limit contact closes (boiler water is cold) the boiler is started and the "ZC" and "C1" output terminals are de-energized. When the "ZR" terminal is de-energized (boiler water temperature is above setpoint) the call for heat is ended and the "C1" terminal is released to operation and the "ZC" terminal is energized. An External Low Limit Request is detected by sensing a voltage on the "ZR" terminal. The Warm Start Boiler Control does not have the External Low Limit Option. Refer to Table 9.

B. STEAM BOILERS SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Upon a thermostat call for heat, when provided, the R8239A Control Center Relay or the Oil Primary Control is energized when the steam pressure is below the L404F Pressure Limit and water level is above the Low Water Cut-Off. When energized the Oil Primary Control starts the burner as follows; blower is started and operates for a pre-purge time; spark is energized and fuel valve is opened for ignition trail time; the fuel valve remains open when flame is proven. The burner fires until the thermostat is satisfied or the Pressure Limit setting is reached. The Oil Primary Control stops the burner by closing the fuel valve and operating the blower for post-purge time. Upon a drop in pressure, steam pressure below the L404F Pressure Limit, the burner will re-start if the thermostat is still calling for heat. When there is a tankless heater included and there is no demand for heat, the L4006A operating control will maintain the boiler water temperature at the selected setting for proper operation of the domestic water heater.

The probe low water cut-off will shut down the burner after a 10-15 second delay, if the water level in the boiler drops below the probe level. The Hydrolevel CG450 low water cut-off will shut down the burner for 90 seconds every 10 minutes of firing time to allow water level to stabilize. If the water level is too low the burner will not be allowed to restart. The low water cut-off will reset and restart the burner with a call for heat a few seconds after the water is returned to its normal level.

On burner start, if the CAD cell does not see flame within approximately 15 seconds, primary control will shut down the burner and enter into a lockout mode. A lockout is reset by pressing the reset button located on the primary control. If the flame is lost while the burner is firing, the primary control shuts down the burner, enters a 60 second recycle delay, and repeats the ignition sequence. If after three (3) trials for ignition, flame is not detected, primary control will enter into restricted mode. Restricted mode is reset by holding down the reset button for 15 seconds.

SECTION XIII: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

A. MAINTENANCE OF LOW WATER CUT-OFF DEVICES

WARNINGProbe and float type low water cut-off devices require annual inspection and maintenance.

1. PROBE TYPE LOW WATER CUT-OFF Although these devices are solid state in their

operation, the probe is exposed to possible contamination in the boiler water and subject to fouling.

It is important to physically remove the probe from the boiler tapping annually and inspect that probe for accumulation of scale or sediment.

Follow these steps to inspect, clean and/or replace the probe:a. Turn off electric service to the boiler.b. Drain boiler water to a level below the tapping

for the probe.c. Disconnect wiring connections between the low

water cut-off control and the probe.d. Remove the low water cut-off control from the

probe.

DANGERAssure that the boiler is at zero pressure before removing the LWCO probe. DO NOT rely on the pressure gauge to indicate that the boiler is at zero pressure. Open the safety valve to relieve all internal pressure prior to proceeding. Safety valve discharge piping must be piped such that the potential for burns is eliminated.

e. Unscrew the probe from the boiler tapping.f. Inspect that portion of the probe that is exposed

to the boiler water for a scale or sediment buildup.

g. Light deposits may be removed by wiping the probe with a damp cloth. Wiping the probe with a cloth soaked in vinegar will remove more tenacious lime deposits. The most stubborn deposits may be removed from the probe by using a diluted amount, 3 parts of water to 1 part of phosphoric acid (H2PO4).

CAUTIONExercise caution when handling phosphoric acid and follow the instruction label on its container.

h. Clean the pipe threads of the probe to remove old, hardened pipe dope and other foreign matter.

i. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe dope to the pipe threads on the probe, leaving the two end threads bare. DO NOT use PTFE (Teflon) tape.

j. Screw the probe into the boiler tapping.k. Mount the low water cut-off control on the

probe.l. Reconnect the control to probe wiring.m. Fill the boiler to its normal waterline.n. Add boiler water treatment compound as needed

(refer to Paragraph B.).o. Restore electric service to the boiler.p. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a

boil to drive off free oxygen.q. WARNING — BEFORE RETURNING

BOILER TO SERVICE: Follow the low water cut-off check out procedure in Section X, Paragraph I, No. 4.

2. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUT-OFF During the heating season, if an external low water

cut-off is on the boiler, the blow off valve should be opened once a month (use greater frequency where conditions warrant), to flush out the sediment chamber so the device will be free to function properly.

Low water cut-offs and water feeders should be dismantled annually by qualified personnel, to the extent necessary to insure freedom from obstructions and proper functioning of the working parts. Inspect connecting lines to boiler for accumulation of mud, scale, etc., and clean as required. Examine all visible wiring for brittle or worn insulation and make sure electrical contacts are clean and that they function properly. Give special attention to solder joints on bellows and float when this type of control is used. Check float for evidence of collapse and check mercury bulb (where applicable) for mercury separation or discoloration. Do not attempt to repair mechanisms in the field. Complete replacement mechanisms, including necessary gaskets and installation instructions are available from the manufacturer.

B. BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATION1. STEAM BOILERS

a. Oil, greases & sediments which accumulate in a new boiler and piping must be removed in order to prevent an unsteady water line and carry over of the water into the supply main above boiler.

Operate the boiler with steam in the entire system for a few days allowing the condensate to return to the boiler. If the condensate can temporarily be wasted, operate boiler only for the length of time it takes for condensate to run clear. If the latter cannot be achieved or if the condensate is returned to the boiler, boil out the boiler using the SURFACE BLOW-OFF connection, see Figure 5 (tappings, J).i. Drain boiler until 1” of water is visible in

gauge glass. Run temporary 1½” NPT pipe line from the surface blow-off connection to an open drain or some other location where hot water may be discharged safely. DO NOT install valve in this line.

ii. Drain about 5 gallons of hot water from boiler into a container and dissolve into it an appropriate amount of recommended boil out compound. Remove safety valve & add solution to boiler water thru exposed tapping using a funnel.

NOTICECheck with local authorities or consult local water treatment services for acceptable chemical cleaning compounds.

iii. Start burner and operate sufficiently to boil the water without producing steam pressure. Boil for about 5 hours. Open boiler feed pipe sufficiently to permit a steady trickle of water from the surface blow-off pipe. Continue this slow boiling and trickle of overflow for several hours until the water coming from the overflow is clear.

iv. Stop burner and drain boiler in a manner and to a location that hot water can be discharged with safety.

v. Refill boiler to normal water line. If water in gauge glass does not appear to be clear, repeat steps (i. thru iii.) and boil out the boiler for a longer time.

b. Low pressure steam boilers such as the V8H Series should be maintained with appropriate water treatment compounds. Add suitable water treatment compounds as recommended by your qualified water treatment company.

c. Remove temporary surface blow-off piping, plug tapping and reinstall safety valve. Boil or bring water temperature to 180°F promptly in order to drive off the dissolved gases in the fresh water.

d. If unsteady water line, foaming or priming persist, install gate valve in Hartford Loop and drain valves in return main and at boiler as shown in Figure 16 and proceed as follows:

i Connect hoses from drain valves to floor drain. Close gate valve in Hartford Loop and open drain valve in return main. Fill boiler to normal water level, turn on oil burner and operate boiler at this water level for at least 30 minutes after the condensate begins to run hot, then turn off burner.

Close all radiator valves. Remove all supply main air valves and plug the openings in supply main.

ii. Draw about 5 gallons of hot water from boiler into a container and dissolve into it the appropriate amount of a recommended boilout compound. Remove safety valve from boiler and pour this solution into boiler, then reinstall safety valve.

iii. Turn on oil burner and keep operating while feeding water to boiler slowly. This will raise water level in boiler slowly so that water will be boiling hot and will rise slowly into supply main and back through return main, flowing from drain hose at about 180°F. Continue until water runs clear from drain hose for at least 30 minutes.

iv. Stop feeding water to boiler but continue operating oil burner until excess water in boiler flows out through supply main and water lowers (by steaming) until it reaches normal level in boiler. Turn off oil burner. Drain boiler. Open all radiator valves. Reinstall all supply main air valves. Open gate valve in Hartford Loop.

v. When boiler has cooled down sufficiently (crown sheet of sections are not too hot to touch), close the drain valves at boiler and in return main and feed water slowly up to normal level in boiler. Turn on oil burner and allow boiler to steam for 10 minutes, then turn off burner. Draw off one quart of water from bottom gauge glass fitting and discard. Draw off another quart sample and if this sample is not clear, repeat the cycle of draining the boiler and return main and refilling the boiler until sample is clear.

vi. If the boiler water becomes dirty again at a later date due to additional sediment loosened up in the piping, close gate valve in Hartford Loop, open drain valve in return main, turn on oil burner and allow Condensate to flow to drain until it has run clear for at least 30 minutes while feeding water to boiler so as to maintain normal water level. Turn off oil burner, drain boiler, open gate valve in Hartford Loop, then repeat Step 1 above.

e. Make pH or Alkalinity Test. After boiler and system have been cleaned and

refilled as previously described, test the pH of the water in the system. This can easily be done by drawing a small sample of boiler water and testing with hydrion paper which is used in the same manner as litmus paper, except it gives specific readings. A color chart on the side of the small hydrion dispenser gives the reading in pH. Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable from any chemical supply house or through your local druggist. The pH should be higher than 7, but lower than 11. Add some of the washout chemical (caustic soda), if necessary, to bring the pH within the specified range.

f. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.2. WATER BOILERS

a. Filling of Boiler and System — General —-In a hot water heating system, the boiler and entire system (other than the expansion tank) must be full of water for satisfactory operation. Water should be added to the system until the boiler pressure gauge registers 12 psi. To insure that the system is full, water should come out of all air vents when opened.

b. Boiling Out of Boiler and System. The oil and grease which accumulate in a new hot water boiler can be washed out in the following manner.

i. Remove relief valve using extreme care to avoid damaging it.

ii. Add an appropriate amount of recommended boil out compound.

iii. Replace relief valve. iv. Fill the entire system with water. v. Start firing the boiler. vi. Circulate the water through the entire

system. vii. Vent the system, including the radiation.viii. Allow boiler water to reach operating

temperature, if possible. ix. Continue to circulate the water for a few

hours. x. Stop firing the boiler. xi. Drain the system in a manner and to a

location that hot water can be discharged with safety.

xii. Remove plugs from all available returns and wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as possible, using a high-pressure water stream.

xiii. Refill the system with fresh water.

c. Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds as recommended by your qualified water treatment company.

d. Make pH or Alkalinity Test. After boiler and system have been cleaned and

refilled as previously described, test the pH of the water in the system. This can easily be done by drawing a small sample of boiler water and testing with hydrion paper which is used in the same manner as litmus paper, except it gives specific readings. A color chart on the side of the small hydrion dispenser gives the reading pH. Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable from any chemical supply house or through your local druggist. The pH should be higher than 7 but lower than 11. Add appropriate water treatment chemicals, if necessary, to bring the pH within the specified range. With this lower level of protection, care must be exercised to eliminate all of the free oxygen in the system.

e. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.

C. EXCESSIVE MAKE-UP WATER

IMPORTANTIF, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS NECESSARy TO ADD MORE WATER THAN INDICATED BELOW, CONSULT A qUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO CHECK yOUR SySTEM FOR LEAKS.

A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up water supplied to the boiler which can significantly shorten the life of the boiler. Entrained in make-up water are dissolved minerals, salts and oxygen. When the fresh, cool make-up water is heated in the boiler the minerals fall out as sediment, the salts coat the inside of the boiler, and the oxygen escapes as a gas. The accumulation of sediment eventually isolates the water from contacting the cast iron. When this happens the cast iron in that area gets extremely hot and eventually cracks. The presence of free oxygen or chloride salts in the boiler corrodes the cast iron from the inside.

SECTION XIII: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)

68

More make-up water and higher concentrations of contaminants damage the boiler sooner. Our warranty does not cover corrosion and sediment-related damage. Clearly it is in everyone's best interest to prevent this type of failure. You can do your part by ensuring that your system is leak-free, keeping leakage to less than 2 percent of the boiler water volume each month.

D. ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN OPERATION.

NOTICEIf boiler is not used during winter time, it must be fully drained to prevent freeze damage.

1. Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or crankcase oil using gun with extended stem so as to reach all corners.

2. With steam boilers, at end of season add sufficient water to fill boiler to top of water column and leave it that way until fall when water should be drained again to proper level. If at this time boiler water is dirty, drain water, flush out boiler, and refill with clean water to prescribed water level.

3. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off if the burner is shut down for an extended period of time.

4. To recondition the heating system in the fall season after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions outlined in Section X, Paragraphs A through K.

WARNINGThis boiler contains controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not restart without service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent damage if the boiler is inoperative.

SECTION XIV: BOILER CLEANING

A. CLEAN THE FLUEWAYS (See Figure 34).1. Prior to cleaning boiler, lay a protective cloth or

plastic over combustion chamber blanket to collect debris falling from flueways. Several models DO NOT utilize a combustion chamber blanket, see Section XIV, Repair Parts, Item 1 Bare Boiler Assembly for details.

2. For access to combustion chamber remove two (2) 5/16" - 18 cap screws, one on the right (1¼" long) and one on the left (3¼" long). If boiler is equipped with flexible fuel line(s), swing door open.

3. For cleaning from the side:a. Remove the jacket right side access panel to

expose the flue cover plates.b. Loosen nuts securing the flue cover plates and

remove the plates. The rope gasket should be removed with the plates with care to avoid damage to the rope gasket.

4. For cleaning from the top:a. Remove as much vent pipe as necessary to allow

removal of the jacket top panel and canopy.b. Remove the jacket top panel.c. Remove the canopy, being careful not to damage

the gasket.5. Using a 1¼” diameter wire or fibre bristle brush

(30” handle) clean the flueways. Brush from the top and/or side using horizontal and diagonal strokes for best results. DO NOT allow brush to strike the target wall or liner in the chamber.

B. CLEAN TOP OF BOILER SECTIONS (if cleaning from the top).

Brush and vacuum the tops of the boiler sections.C. CLEAN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. Using wire or fibre bristle brush, clean crown of boiler

and inside of water legs.

WARNINGDO NOT allow brush to strike target wall or blanket in the combustion chamber.

D. AFTER CLEANING, remove protective cloth or plastic with debris and vacuum as necessary, but be careful not to damage blanket. Inspect target wall, combustion chamber blanket, burner swing door insulation, and rope gasket for signs of damage. If damaged, replace as needed.

E. REASSEMBLE BOILER.

CAUTIONDO NOT start the burner unless canopy, vent pipe, burner swing door and all flue cover plates are secured in place.

1. Install the canopy taking care to align the gasket without blocking the flueways. If gasket is damaged, replace as needed.

2. Reinstall flue cover plates, making sure rope gasket on each plate is in place and forms a gas tight seal. If damaged replace as needed.

3. Reinstall jacket top panel and/or jacket upper right side access panel with #8 x ½" long sheet metal screws.

4. Reinstall vent pipe on canopy and secure to collar with sheet metal screws.

5. Close burner swing door. Secure door to front section with 5/16" flange nut and washer (right side) and 5/16" x 3½" lg. bolt (left side).

NOTICEWhen securing burner swing door make sure door is drawn-in equally on both sides.

Tighten swing door hardware to provide adequate seal to rope gasket around perimeter of door.

Use an alternating tightening method from right side flange nut to left side cap screw to pull door tight equally.

WARNINGAll boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off. Boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener completely when service is completed.

Figure 34: Cleaning of Boiler Flueways

WARNINGThe boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of the chimney flue must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions. A clean and unobstructed chimney flue is necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's efficiency.

A. COMBUSTION1. NOZZLES — Although the nozzle is a relatively

inexpensive device, its function is critical to the successful operation of the oil burner. The selection of the nozzle supplied with the V8H boiler is the result of extensive testing to obtain the best flame shape and efficient combustion. Other brands of the same spray angle and spray pattern may be used but may not perform at the expected level of CO2 and smoke. Nozzles are delicate and should be protected from dirt and abuse. Nozzles are mass-produced and can vary from sample to sample. For all of those reasons a spare nozzle is a desirable item for a serviceman to have.

2. FUEL LEAKS — Any fuel leak between the pump and the nozzle will be detrimental to good combustion results. Look for wet surfaces in the air tube, under the ignitor, and around the air inlet. Any such leaks should be repaired as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in the extreme case may become a fire hazard.

3. SUCTION LINE LEAKS — Any such leaks should be repaired, as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in extreme cases may become a fire hazard. Whatever it takes, The Oil Must Be Free of Air. This can be a tough problem, but it must be resolved. Try bleeding the pump through a clear tube. There must be no froth visible. There are various test kits available to enable you to look at the oil through clear tubing adapted to the supply line at the pump fitting. Air eliminators are on the market that have potential. Also, electronic sight glasses are being used with good success. At times, new tubing must be run to the tank or new fittings put on. Just make sure you get the air out before you leave.

Any air leaks in the fuel line will cause an unstable flame and may cause delayed ignition noises. Use only flare fittings in the fuel lines.

4. GASKET LEAKS — If 11.5 to 12.5% CO2 with a #1 smoke cannot be obtained in the breeching, look for air leaks around the burner mounting gasket, observation door, and canopy gasket. Such air leaks will cause a lower CO2 reading in the breeching. The smaller the firing rate the greater effect an air leak can have on CO2 readings.

5. DIRT — A fuel filter is a good investment. Accidental accumulation of dirt in the fuel system can clog the nozzle or nozzle strainer and produce a poor spray pattern from the nozzle. The smaller the firing rate, the smaller the slots become in the nozzle and the more prone to plugging it becomes with the same amount of dirt.

SECTION XV: TROUBLESHOOTING

6. WATER — Water in the fuel in large amounts will stall the fuel pump. Water in the fuel in smaller amounts will cause excessive wear on the pump, but more importantly water doesn’t burn. It chills the flame and causes smoke and unburned fuel to pass out of the combustion chamber and clog the flueways of the boiler.

7. COLD OIL — If the oil temperature approaching the fuel pump is 40°F or lower, poor combustion or delayed ignition may result. Cold oil is harder to atomize at the nozzle. Thus, the spray droplets get larger and the flame shape gets longer. An outside fuel tank that is above grade or has fuel lines in a shallow bury is a good candidate for cold oil. The best solution is to locate the tank near the boiler in the basement utility room or bury the tank and lines deep enough to keep the oil above 40°F. Check environmental issues with local authorities having jurisdiction.

8. FLAME SHAPE — Looking into the combustion chamber through the observation port, the flame should appear straight with no sparklers rolling up toward the crown of the chamber. If the flame drags to the right or left, sends sparklers upward or makes wet spots on the target wall, the nozzle should be replaced. If the condition persists look for fuel leaks, air leaks, water or dirt in the fuel as described above.

9. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS — Air openings must be increased at higher altitudes. Use instruments and set for 11.5 to 12.5% CO2.

10. START-UP NOISE — Late ignition is the cause of start-up noises. If it occurs recheck for electrode settings, flame shape, air or water in the fuel lines.

11. SHUT DOWN NOISE — If the flame runs out of air before it runs out of fuel, an after burn with noise may occur. That may be the result of a faulty cut-off valve in the fuel pump, or it may be air trapped in the nozzle line. It may take several firing cycles for that air to be fully vented through the nozzle. Water in the fuel or poor flame shape can also cause shut down noises.

NOTICECHECK TEST PROCEDURE. A very good test for isolating fuel side problems is to disconnect the fuel system and with a 24" length of tubing, fire out of an auxiliary five gallon pail of clean, fresh, warm #2 oil from another source. If the burner runs successfully when drawing out of the auxiliary pail then the problem is isolated to the fuel or fuel lines being used on the jobsite.

APPENDIX A - LOW WATER CUT OFF (LWCO)

Wiring of Typical LWCO

When A low water cutoff is required to protect a hot water

boiler when any connected heat distributor (radiation) is installed below the top of the hot water boiler (i.e. baseboard on the same floor level as the boiler). In addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a LWCO with a hot water boiler.

Where The universal location for a LWCO on oil hot water

boilers is above the boiler, in either the supply or return piping. The minimum safe water level of a water boiler is at the uppermost top of the boiler; that is, it must be full of water to operate safely.

It is recommended that the LWCO control is installed above the boiler to provide the highest level of protection. However, where the LWCO control is approved by the LWCO control manufacturer for installation in a high boiler tapping of a water boiler, the use of the listed LWCO control is permitted when it is installed according to the LWCO manufacturer's instructions.

What Kind Typically, in residential applications, a probe type

LWCO is used instead of a float type, due to their relative costs and the simplicity of piping for a probe LWCO.

How to Pipe A “tee” is commonly used to connect the probe LWCO

in the supply or return piping, as shown below.

LWCO Location

Select the appropriate size tee using the LWCO manufacturer’s instructions. Often, the branch connection must have a minimum diameter to prevent bridging between the probe and the tee. Also, the run of the tee must have a minimum diameter to prevent the end of the probe from touching or being located too close to the inside wall of the run of the tee.

Ideally, manual shutoff valves should be located above the LWCO and the boiler to allow for servicing. This will allow probe removal for inspection without draining the heating system. Many probe LWCO manufacturers recommend an annual inspection of the probe.

How to Wire LWCO’s are available in either 120 VAC or 24 VAC

configurations. The 120 VAC configuration must be applied to oil boilers by wiring it in the line voltage service to the boiler (after the service switch, if so equipped).

The presence of water in a properly installed LWCO will cause the normally open contact of the LWCO to close, thus providing continuity of the 120 VAC service to the boiler.

It is recommended to supply power to the probe LWCO with the same line voltage servicing the boiler as shown below.

WARNINGDO NOT ATTEMPT to cut factory wires to install an aftermarket Low Water Cut Off (LWCO). Only use connections specifically identified for Low Water Cut Off.

In all cases, follow the Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) manufacturer's instructions.

90

A 24 VAC LWCO is used primarily for gas fired boilers where a 24 volt control circuit exists within the boiler. However, a 24 VAC LWCO can only be used if the boiler manufacturer has provided piping and wiring connections and instructions to allow for this application.

APPENDIX A - LOW WATER CUT OFF (LWCO) (continued)

How to Test Shut off fuel supply. Lower water level until water

level is BELOW the LWCO. Generate a boiler demand by turning up thermostat. Boiler should not attempt to operate. Increase the water level by filling the system. The boiler should attempt to operate once the water level is above the LWCO.
